Here is the truth about the historical impact of the flesh of other creatures.

Toblerone - lots of empty space in its packets, but do we love the chocky triangles? Yes we love the chocky triangles. I will fight you if you think otherwise, with my fists.

It has been a while since I blogged. Yes, I have been twittering and facebooking, but not proper blogging. I have been making copious notes on evernote, but for actual publishing, real life has not spared me the time to blog or write properly (apart from the article I did for the Guardian. I intend to change that.

Anyways, three things came up recently on blogging itself. Now I know a blogger writing about blogging is insular and not groundbreaking, but thefollowing should be of interest to some.

Firstly, MuslimMatters put up a page on the best ranking Muslim blogs.  Around the same time, I received a link (via comment) on the oldest blogs, “Mr Moo” blog was eighth. Anyway, if you take a look at the page, it has a long list of blogs, one of the most comprehensive I have seen.

Next, the Brass Crescent Awards nominations are up. I recommend you gpo nominate your blogs.  I’ve read somewhere that Muslims who tweet should also be included, I disagree.  Blogging is about good writing (at its essence), and the Brass Cresecent were set up to reflect the best of the blogosphere.  Its difficult to be complex in 140 characters. I started blogging by accident, posting up photos of travel, and see no reason to stop.

Anyways, I’d imagine Indigo Jo has been nominated many times, by far he has been the most consistent blogger this year and the one I read the most. I also really love the writing of Timothy Bowes over at folio.me.uk, as well as Svend White over at Akrams Razor and ‘Barakah’ at Rickshaw Diaries

Finally, there has been this gap in the blogosphere since a few of the nicer blogs from years past have disappeared or are not updated regularly.  That itself is not a problem, bloggers have a life and don’t owe anybody anything.  The most prominent of the retired blogs is Sunnisisters.com – we miss the blog itself. Well, I took a gander at the internet archive, and yes, most of the Sunni Sisters blog seems to be there and is sort of readable. Do be warned many of the images and photos are not archived. To access, click on the image below.  Enjoy.
